California Nightmare

The woes of the dystopian hellscape that California has become under Gavin Newsom continue to mount, as the state just declared an energy emergency with possible rotating power outages. To add insult to injury, San Francisco says it will cost $14 billion to filter nutrients from human excrement to contain a massive algae bloom responsible for poisoning the fish of the city’s waterways. The Bay Area’s homelessness and public-defecation crises certainly don’t help the problem. Could it get any worse for residents of the Golden State?

After years of gross mismanagement, it seems that these problems are finally coming to a head. But when will voters finally wake up and stop rewarding Democratic incompetence? They lost their chance after the 2021 gubernatorial recall election. And despite some promising recent developments, there doesn’t seem to be any change in leadership on the horizon.

The greatest irony of all this is that Newsom thinks he’s qualified to be president after turning what once was the most coveted place to live in America into a nightmare. Republicans will be able to make mincemeat out of his tenure in Sacramento should he become the Democratic nominee in 2024.
